Jan 26, 1858. SPIRITS OF THE DEAD. BY J. H. PERKINS. It is a beautiful belief, That round our head Are hovering, on noiseless wing, The spirits of the dead. It is a beautiful belief, When finished our career, That it will be our destiny To watch o’er others here ; To lend a mortal to the flower, Breathe wisdom on the wind, To hold commune with night’s pure noon. With the imprisoned mind; To bid the erring cease to err, The trembling be forgiven, To bear away from ills of clay The infant to its Heaven. Ah ! when delight was.found in life, And joy in every breath, I cannot tell how terrible The mystery of death, But now the past is bright to me, And all the future clear, For ’tis my faith that after death We still shall linger here. • THE DESERTED HOUSE. BY TENNYSON. Life and thought have gone away, Side by side, Leaving door and window wide; Careless tenants they! All within is dark as night; In the windows is no light; And no murmur at the door, So frequent on itsjhinge before. Come away; no more of mirth Is here, or merry-making sound ; The house was builded of the earth, And shall fall again to ground. Come away ; for Life and Thought Here no longer dwell; But in a city glorious— . A great and distant city—they have bought A mansion incorruptible. Would they could have stayed with me. • * • “We live in hope” is a cheerful sort of rhyme for the time: We live in hope that better times Are quickly drawing near, And think the next glad Christmas chimes Will bring a happier year; And though that one be fraught with care, And build our trust upon ; Yet with the next a smile we’ 11 wear, And still keep hoping on. We live in hope; though clouds appear, They linger but a day; • The sun, to us a gift so dear, Will scatter them away; Thus life is but an April shower, And troubles are but rain; „ ‘ And hope, the sun, that in that hour WUI bring us joy again. Cbito’ Dfjiarttnfnt. BY MRS. M. E. BRYAN, SALUTATORY. f iTY LKssisfos on the man who first invented” news- JD papers 1 and blessings on those public bene factors, newspaper Editors! for without their inval uable services, the tide of political interest would grow stagnant and half the world die of ennui. The monthly magazines are beautiful, indeed, with their elegantly designed covers, their accu rate typography, exquisite engravings and choice contributions; but their coming too much resem bles angel visitants. They are like those delicate plants, whose blossoms are few and rare as they are beautiful; and we prefer the more humble cottage rose, whose bright buds the sun beams and breezes daily kiss into life, and whose per fumed petals ever greet us with a home-like wel come. The Magazine comes to us monthly, like an elegant, elaborately attired visitor, of whose rich dresß children stand in salutary awe; but the newspaper is a dear, familiar fireside friend, fUU of useful information and pleasant, but harm less, gossip, and not too fine to repel the advances of little hands fresh from making dirt pies, but whose owners can yet appreciate a puzzle or a witty bon mol. Then, where, in magazine literature, will you find the spicy variety, the frank independence of sentiment and the condensed information of the family newspaper ? Whole romances epitomized in half a column’s relation of an occurrence in real life, delicate morceaux, the cream of domestic and foreign news, wit and humor, and n6t unfrequently. an original gem of “ purest ray serene.” The newspaper is the mince pie of the literary epicure, the weekly, mental banquet, whose dishes are numerous and varied as they are spicy and agreeable. The newspaper is the real channel to literary sucoess, and the true friend of modest talent and aspiring, yet self-doubting genius. Many admi rable writers whose names (through the newspa per medium) are familiar as household words from Maine to Florida, are yet innocent of looks, while many more received from the pages of the newspaper the stimulus needful to encourage them to bolder efforts. Our best and most cele brated authors owe their suocess in a great meas ure to the weekly journals who first encouraged their genius and befriended their youthful errors. Addison, Steele and Johnson wrote for the ram bler, the Spectator and other periodicals; Sue, Janin and half a hundred French writers have won their extended popularity chiefly through the fevMets of the Parisian journals, and our own Irving, Longfellow, Bryant, Poe, Osgood and El let have contributed largely to newspaper litera ture. Who will not, then, most heartily endorse at least part of the sentiments of Fanny Fern, re garding newspapers? “I hate” (she says in her sprightly, inimitable way) “ new shoes, new dress es, new bonnets—everything new except newspa pers, and I was born reading them.” But why is it; that when the usefulness of news papers is so universally oonceded, they frequent ly languish for want of patronage, and Editors, appalled by empty larders, are; tempted to adopt the Fitehe and Beskely theory of immateriality? This, it must be confessed, is true of the South; for, while literary journals, numerous “as the leaves in Vallambrosa,” flourish at the North, the issue of such a paper here is attended with great risk, and the wise ones shake their heads and sagely prophesy that its date will be brief, for the South cannot long sustain any other than a pol itical or sectarian sheet. Why should this be so? Why assume that, be cause kid gloves, delicate muslins and embroide ries are brought to us by railway and steamer-* consequently, literary merit cannot exist south of Mason's and Dixon's line? Why look askance upon those efforts, to which distance has not lent its magic enchantment and ask with an incredu lous curl of the lip, “ Can any good come out of Nazareth” ? Yes; good can come from anything, however unsightly. “ The rose draws its redness from the ground,” and the water lilly derives its pure and fragrant life from the noisome mud of stagnant pools; and why should not so fair aland as ours produce and foster the germs of genius? The South has talent, undoubtedly, and all that is needed is proper encouragement from the pub lic. lam sure you will think of this, gentle rea ders—that you will pay promptly and gladly for your paper, and do all in your power to induce a better appreciation of home literature. Remem bering the disadvantages under which the sheet is sometimes issued, do not “ pish 1” and “ pooh I” and throw aside the paper if a slight typographi cal error or a blurred sentence chances to occur in the paragraph you are reading. And forget not to be charitable to the persecuted race of scrib blers. Think not that because a woman chances to step from the common beaten track, or, in other words, is acknowledged as a bas bleu, she must necessarily possess inky fingers and dilapi dated stockings. Accuse her not of indelicacy in unveiling her heart’s holy of holies, if at times she pour forth the tide of feeling in unrestrained and burning language—the pent up grief, it may be, that will find vent—the utterance of a heart craving for sympathy—the aspirations of a spirit pining to be free from its thraldom. I would have you deal thus gently, dear read ers, because you and I are destined to become better acquaintances. I shall be a weekly visitor at your firesides and the name perchance, not al together unknown to you, will become familiar as a friend’s. Shall Ibe welcomed? Will any eye grow brighter when glancing over the pages my hand has traced? Will any gentle spirit go out to mine in love and sympathy? Oh! this is the sweetest reward cf literary toil! the author’s dear est meed of praise—to know that far away some word of ours has found ah answering echo in an other's soul—that an eye whieh may never meet ours on earth has grown dim over our own heart's revealings, and some voice has exclairhed with soul-felt utterance, “Would that I could take her hand and “call her friend!” It is with the hope of this reward that I shall write, well content if any thought of mine shall beguile a sad heart of a single moment's pain, awaken one noble feeling, or stimulate to a single worthy action. But not for you shall I write pretty butterflies of fashion, who listlessly take the paper in your jeweled fingers to while away a moment's time while waiting for a carriage, or for the adjustment of patterns at your dress-makers. Nor for you, young exquisites, who carelessly glance over its pages, preparatory to tearing the paper to light your racy Havanas. Not for you, shall my pen do serviee; but when I write I shall think of the far-away village and country homes, about whose mossy eaves the mulberry .leaves are whispering ploasan .things all summer long, and at whoso EDITOR & PROPRIETOR. cosy firesides the weekly paper is received as a welcome and anxiously expected guest, whose so ciety is enjoyed by the whole family, down to the “pet youngest”—the Willies and Emmas of the household,,who, when their “turn” comes at last, hie forthwith to the great barn at the foot of the hill, and seated on the heaps of fragrant hay witi. the yellow pumpkins and crooked squashes lying around them, and the red sunlight streaming in through the crevices of the roof, read aloud the story, or poem, which to their unsophisticated minds possesses all the charm of truth. Os all quiet and comfortable places of retreat, a barn is the most delightful 1 The dearest and sweetest recollections of my life cluster around the ample walls and hay-piled floor of an old barn in a country farm-yard. Oh, what blessed hours of solitude I have there enjoyed! What delicious reveries—what golden dreams I have there revelect in ! What air castles I have built —what tears I have shed with my arm around my pet kitten and her pitying eyes raised to mine —those wonderful eyes! they had in them such a look of intelligence—such a depth of human feeling—and once nothing could have shaken my belief, that when I wept they were filled with tears—that my poor dumb companion understood and sympathized with me in my distress—yes, distress; for they err who believe that childhood has no real sorrow. It has griefs as intense and difficult to be borne as those of maturer age. The little heart is often swelled to bursting with an guish, rendered more severe because it is so lightly regarded—so little understood. “ The tear down childhood’s cheek that flows, Is like the dew drop on the rose” — Is a couplet often more poetical than true; for, childish sorrows, unalleviated by tender sympa thy, frequently rankle in the sensitive heart and cast a baneful blight over the young, unfolding nature. But in my desultory ramblings, I have wander ed far away from my greeting to you, dear read ers of the “ Crusader”; and, in truth, I have lit tle more to say, save the promise that (in con junction with the other, more efficient editors of this paper) I will do mon possible to amuse and entertain you and to render the “Crusader”— now issued in new guise and under more favora ble auspices—the best family paper in the South, and a welcome guest at the firesides of our pleas ant southern homes. MARY E. BRYAN. Thomasville, Ga. THE BROKEN VOW. BY MARY E. BRYAN. The moon in the west was waning, And the stars shone pale and high ; Yet still went on the revel, And the dancers floated by. She paused in the waltz’s gay whirling— That lady, young and fair— And tossed back the tresses curling, Os her dark, abundant hair. “ Drink,” she said to the youth beside her, “ Drain the cup my lips nave press’d ; Drink to me\ and woe betide thee • If thou slight my Jirgt request.” She smiled, and her eyes out-darkled The wave, when moon-beams shine, And her glowing lip out.sparkled The red of the ruby wine. “ Nay ; recall the words, I pray thee, For a holy vow is mine, And not even to obey thee May I quaff the tempting wine. I would drink to thee forever, But would you have me clasp, Veil’d in flowers, yet treacherous ever, The fair and deadly asp ?” Still she said, “ by this one token Shall I prove your love for me;” And the words were coldly spoken, And her lip curl’d bitterly. And her eyes flash’d coldly, brightly, As she crush’d his token flower. Should he lose her love thus lightly— The idol of the hour ! “Stay!” he cried, “I’ll do thy bidding, Though the deed shall be my bane ; I will drink, though death lie hidden In the bowl you bid me drain.” So the lady proved her power, And yet prouder grew her brow, But the angels wept that hour O’er the rashly broken vow; For they knew, that now forever The die of his fate was cast; That this one false step would ever Lead him downward to the last. Blasted hopes and slighted duty, Ruined fortune, heallh and fame, Blighted honor, youth and beauty, And a drunkard’s death of shame. Dimmed for age, the lustrous glory Os his genius half divine ; This, the sequel of the story Read within the glowing wine. Oh ! ye whose gift is beauty. Best and brightest under Heaven, There’s to you a sacred duty, And a holy mission given. By your eyes’ bewildering splendor, By your cheek’s soft roseate hue, By your tones of music tender, By your ripe lip’s crimson dew, By your tresses’ glittering shower, With whose ripples, sunbeams toy, Do ye wield a fearful power— Power to save, or to destroy.

It was the saying of Sir Robert Peel, “ I never knew ‘ a man to escape failure, in either body or mind, who worked seven days in the week.” An old lady of our acquaintance, believes that every calamity that happens to herself a trial, and every one that happens to her friends a judgment. A Western editor expresses his delight at having nearly been called “honey” by the gal he loves, be cause she saluted him as.“old Bee’s Wax” at their last meeting. Married men are less troubled with the rheumatism than are bachelors. Dr. Francis assignee as the reason —they sleep warmer. If we could read the secret history of our enemies, we should find in each man’s life, sorrow and suffering enough to disarm all hostilities. Never despair in adversity. Work and persevere. When the wheel is turning round, the bottom will turn up—some where. It is about as hopeless a task to get a rich woman to live a life of common sense, as it is to get a rich man in to the kingdom of heaven, A Western Simile.—A Western College Professor thus “illustrates” an important branch of a young la dy’s education: Besides this, there is a piano, where the fingers are compelled to travel more in one day than the feet do in a whole term; and the mind must be kept on a stretch over spider-tracked music, till the reason reels and the brain swims, and the notes on the page before her car ry no more idea to the mind, than so many tadpoles trying to cliwtb over a Jive-barred rail fence.
